That sums it up.  They ought ought to have on the advance search page a
option to run on this feature.

Speaking of searches I wish there was a way to setup my default profile
on eBay to only give me items located in the US.  Everytime I do a
search I get too many results outside the US.  I can go in the advance
page and click an option but I wish I could make that option default for
my profile.
